Accessibility

These settings make the user interface quicker to use and more helpful. Some settings are particularly useful for people with visual or physical impairments.

Mouse

Mouse gestures let you do frequently performed browse operations with small, quick mouse movements. Disable mouse gestures to avoid performing them unintentionally.

The Hotclick menu (with multiple choices) appears when you double-click text in Web pages. This feature can be disabled if you would rather right-click selected text to get the same menu.

If you are left-handed, you may want to swap the mouse buttons for the back and forth mouse-button gestures.

List items, for example in Preferences and the Hotlist, can be underlined when you point to them (hover) with your mouse.

Keyboard

When you enter Web addresses or e-mail addresses, addresses entered earlier are displayed in a drop-down menu (automatic completion), to save you from repeated typing.

Turn on screen-reader compatibility if you have impaired vision and use screen-reader software.

Tooltips

Tooltips pop up with useful information when you point your mouse to various elements, both in Web pages and in Opera's user interface.
